Lights Out

We were cozy warm and set Ready for the evening yet Then a flicker then a zap The whole room faded black No more buzzing from the fridge TV silent what a switch We fumble stumble 'round the room Lost in the unplanned gloom Oh the hum we miss the screens that glow Without our gadgets where'd we go Lights out everything's a blur No screens no work no whir Lights out we sit and shout Where's the power? It's lights out Entertainment's gone away No more bingeing shows today In the dark we tap our toes But the Wi-Fi? Who knows All our devices drained and dead How long 'til we go to bed No more coffee from the pot This outage really hits the spot How we miss the hum and click Without our comforts time moves quick Lights out everything's a blur No screens no work no whir Lights out we sit and shout Where's the power? It's lights out The silence grows the shadows creep The things we need are fast asleep We're yearning for a little spark To chase away this endless dark But wait—what's that? A distant beep The lights return no need to weep Lights on! Everything's so clear Our comforts back oh dear Lights on! We dance and cheer We survived—no need to fear From the darkness to the light Our gadgets saved us from the night Lights out was tough but we held strong Now we'll hum and buzz along
